No woman, no cry,
No woman, no cry (bis),
Say I remember
when we used to sit,
In a government yard in Trenchtown,
Obs-observing the hypocrites,
Mingle with the good people we
meet,
Good friends we have or good friends we've lost,
Along the way,
In this great future you can't forget your past,
So dry your tears I say,
And no woman, no cry,
No woman, no cry,
I say a little darling, don't shed no tears,
No woman, no cry,
'Cause I remember when we used to sit,
In a government yard in Trenchtown,
And the Georgie
would make the fire lights,
Like a wood burnin' through the night, yeah,
And we would cook corn-mealed porridge,
Of wich I'd
shared with you,
My feet is my only carriage and so,
So I've got to push on through,
But while I'm gone,
Everything's gonna be allright,
Everything's gonna be allright (X4)
So no woman, no cry,
No woman, no cry,
A little darling don't shed no tears,
No woman, no cry,
No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry,
No woman, no cry,
one more time I've got to say,
Ooh little, little darlin', please don't shed no tears,
No woman, no cry ...
